482 'Bug' when installing GHC 6.4.1 nobody wolfgang "I installed GHC-6.4.1.pkg.zip under MacOSX, and selected
the startup volume for install. The idea is that
he puts the ghc exec. and the rest in /usr/local.
In my case, /usr/local/ is a symbolic link to another
partition.
It turns out that the installer then removes this link,
makes a new subdir /usr/local/ and installs
ghc in there. This means, all my other stuff has become
inaccessible. My feeling is that this is a bug.
I can imagine that you check whether /usr/local exists
and whether it is a directory, and maybe the case
that it is a symbolic link to a directory is not
yet covered." bug closed normal ⊥ Build System 6.4.1 wontfix MacOS X powerpc N/A
